Was just wondering if you could have a guess at the breed of Caesar my dog! he is meant to be a Staff X Border Collie, but when walking him a lot of people are always asking a guessing his breed to be different saying pitbull, english bull terrier.. was just wondering what you guys thought,
Thanks

Looks like a pure American Staffordshire Terrier. Or at least mostly Am Staff.

Not a Staffordshire Bull Terrier or Border Collie mix.


AmStaff vs StaffBT

Really? I have never saw an Am Staff where I live before, I've just done a Google search and I am shocked this is a Twin right here:


Aren't Am Staffs bulky? his 3 sisters only saw pictures of them when they were puppies don't like too much like him and they have thick fur unlike him I'm actually shocked at that picture!

[satomi325]

Thick fur?
Do you have pictures of them.

I don't think AmStaffs are bulky. Well, going by the pictures you posted so far, I think he's at least partially AmStaff.


Isn't it illegal in the UK to have American Pit Bull Terriers? So he's probably not that or a mix of an APBT.

No, no pictures our next door neighbour did own one of the sisters the same as him in every way except she she had black where he has tan fur, she was much larger but had thicker fur,

It's illegal to own any kind of pit bull or if it matches the characteristics of a pit bull terrier, the vets have never mentioned anything about his breed though.

Someone in my family owns a Pure Staffordshire bull terrier and Caesar is twice the size of him but they both are exactly the same with regards to personality, are AmStaffs and APBTs different or the same?

I've never heard anyone give the suggestion of an AmStaff before

Really impossible to say, it could be another dog got to the female and the fuzzy pups had one sire and yours another or he just takes heavily after the bully breed side, mixes are funny that way. Definitely looks more apbt/amstaff than sbt because of his size and head shape though.

Little video so you can kind of see him properly but anyway thanks for the replies!

Hard to say of course, BUT, based soley off looks alone....I see either AmStaff or APBT in the mix. That one photo you posted of a certain angle of his head structure, I actually could see some influence that reminds me of an English Bull Terrier. Pretty dog nonetheless!

I definitely see where they people say bull terrier I personally see bull terrier and APBT. Amstaffs and Staffordshire terriers are shorter and stocky with more of a block head. The APBT is taller and lankier but still muscular. He is beautiful
